INTRODUCTION In all radiometric work involving the measurement of radiant energy in absolute value it is necessary to use an instrument that intercepts or absorbs all the incident radiations; or if that is impracticable, it is necessary to know the amount that is not absorbed. The instruments used for intercepting and absorbing radiant energy are usually constructed in the form of conical- shaped cavities which are blackened with lampblack, the expecta- tion being that, after successive reflections within the cavity, the amount of energy lost by passing out through the opening is reduced to a negligible value. 1 This title is used in order to distinguish the reflection of matte surfaces from the (regular) reflection of polished surfaces. The paper gives also data on the specular reflection of polished silver for different angles of incidence, but it seemed unnecessary to include it in the title.

  • Ap Physics 2 Summary Chapter 21 – Reflection and Refraction
    AP PHYSICS 2 SUMMARY CHAPTER 21 – REFLECTION AND REFRACTION . Light sources and light rays Light Bulbs, candles, and the Sun are examples of extended sources that emit light. Light from such sources illuminates other objects, which reflect the light. We see an object because incident light reflects off of it and reaches our eyes. We represent the travel of light rays (drawn as lines and arrows). Each point of a shining object or a reflecting object send rays in all directions. Law of reflection When a ray strikes a smooth surface such as a mirror, the angle between the incident ray and the normal line perpendicular to the surface equals the angle between the reflected ray and the normal line (the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection). This phenomenon is called specular reflection. Diffuse reflection If light is incident on an irregular surface, the incident light is reflected in many different directions. This phenomenon is called diffuse reflection. Refraction If the direction of travel of light changes as it moves from one medium to another, the light is said to refract (bend) as it moves between the media. Snell’s law Light going from a lower to a higher index of refraction will bend toward the normal, but going from a higher to a lower index of refraction it will bend away from the normal. Total internal reflection If light tries to move from a more optically dense medium 1 of refractive index n1 into a less optically dense medium 2 of refractive index n2 (n1>n2), the refracted light in medium 2 bends away from the normal line.

  • Method for Measuring Solar Reflectance of Retroreflective Materials Using Emitting-Receiving Optical Fiber
    Method for Measuring Solar Reflectance of Retroreflective Materials Using Emitting-Receiving Optical Fiber HiroyukiIyota*, HidekiSakai, Kazuo Emura, orio Igawa, Hideya Shimada and obuya ishimura, Osaka City University Osaka, Japan *Corresponding author email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The heat generated by reflected sunlight from buildings to surrounding structures or pedestrians can be reduced by using retroreflective materials as building exteriors. However, it is very difficult to evaluate the solar reflective performance of retroreflective materials because retroreflective lightcannotbe determined directly using the integrating sphere measurement. To solve this difficulty, we proposed a simple method for retroreflectance measurementthatcan be used practically. A prototype of a specialapparatus was manufactured; this apparatus contains an emitting-receiving optical fiber and spectrometers for both the visible and the infrared bands. The retroreflectances of several types of retroreflective materials are measured using this apparatus. The measured values correlate well with the retroreflectances obtained by an accurate (but tedious) measurement. The characteristics of several types of retroreflective sheets are investigated. Introduction Among the various reflective characteristics, retroreflective materials as shown in Fig.1(c) have been widely used in road signs or work clothes to improve nighttime visibility. Retroreflection was given by some mechanisms:prisms, glass beads, and so on. The reflective performance has been evaluated from the viewpointof these usages only. On the other hand, we have shown thatretroreflective materials reduce the heatgenerated by reflected sunlight(Sakai, in submission). The use of such materials on building exteriors may help reduce the urban heatisland effect. However, itis difficultto evaluate the solar reflective performance of retroreflective materials because retroreflectance cannot be determined using Figure 1.

  • Reflection Measurements in IR Spectroscopy Author: Richard Spragg Perkinelmer, Inc
    TECHNICAL NOTE Reflection Measurements in IR Spectroscopy Author: Richard Spragg PerkinElmer, Inc. Seer Green, UK Reflection spectra Most materials absorb infrared radiation very strongly. As a result samples have to be prepared as thin films or diluted in non- absorbing matrices in order to measure their spectra in transmission. There is no such limitation on measuring spectra by reflection, so that this is a more versatile way to obtain spectroscopic information. However reflection spectra often look quite different from transmission spectra of the same material. Here we look at the nature of reflection spectra and see when they are likely to provide useful information. This discussion considers only methods for obtaining so-called external reflection spectra not ATR techniques. The nature of reflection spectra The absorption spectrum can be calculated from the measured reflection spectrum by a mathematical operation called the Kramers-Kronig transformation. This is provided in most data manipulation packages used with FTIR spectrometers. Below is a comparison between the absorption spectrum of polymethylmethacrylate obtained by Kramers-Kronig transformation of the reflection spectrum and the transmission spectrum of a thin film. Figure 1. Reflection and transmission at a plane surface Reflection takes place at surfaces. When radiation strikes a surface it may be reflected, transmitted or absorbed. The relative amounts of reflection and transmission are determined by the refractive indices of the two media and the angle of incidence. In the common case of radiation in air striking the surface of a non-absorbing medium with refractive index n at normal incidence the reflection is given by (n-1)2/(n+1)2.

  • Reflectance IR Spectroscopy, Khoshhesab
    11 Reflectance IR Spectroscopy Zahra Monsef Khoshhesab Payame Noor University Department of Chemistry Iran 1. Introduction Infrared spectroscopy is study of the interaction of radiation with molecular vibrations which can be used for a wide range of sample types either in bulk or in microscopic amounts over a wide range of temperatures and physical states. As was discussed in the previous chapters, an infrared spectrum is commonly obtained by passing infrared radiation through a sample and determining what fraction of the incident radiation is absorbed at a particular energy (the energy at which any peak in an absorption spectrum appears corresponds to the frequency of a vibration of a part of a sample molecule). Aside from the conventional IR spectroscopy of measuring light transmitted from the sample, the reflection IR spectroscopy was developed using combination of IR spectroscopy with reflection theories. In the reflection spectroscopy techniques, the absorption properties of a sample can be extracted from the reflected light. Reflectance techniques may be used for samples that are difficult to analyze by the conventional transmittance method. In all, reflectance techniques can be divided into two categories: internal reflection and external reflection. In internal reflection method, interaction of the electromagnetic radiation on the interface between the sample and a medium with a higher refraction index is studied, while external reflectance techniques arise from the radiation reflected from the sample surface. External reflection covers two different types of reflection: specular (regular) reflection and diffuse reflection. The former usually associated with reflection from smooth, polished surfaces like mirror, and the latter associated with the reflection from rough surfaces.

Interaction of radiation and the surfaces. The ocean and land surfaces can modify the atmospheric radiation field by a) reflecting a portion of the incident radiation back into the atmosphere; b) transmitting some incident radiation; c) absorbing a portion of incident radiation (see Lecture 4, Kirchhoff’s law); d) emitting the thermal radiation (see Lecture 4, Kirchhoff’s law); INCIDENT RADIATION REFLECTED RADIATION ABSORBED RADIATION RANSMITTED RADIATION TRANSMITTED RADIATION 1 Conservation of energy requires that monochromatic radiation incident upon any surface, Ii, is either reflected, Ir, absorbed, Ia, or transmitted, It . Thus Ii = Ir + Ia + It [5.1] 1 = Ir / Ii + Ia / Ii + It / Ii = R + A+ T [5.2] where T is the transmission, A is the absorption, and R is the reflection of the surface. In general, T, A, and R are a function of the wavelength: Rλ + Aλ+ Tλ =1 [5.3] Blackbody surfaces (no reflection) and surfaces in LTE (from Kirchhoff’s law): Aλ = ελ [5.4] Opaque surfaces (no transmission): Rλ + Aλ = 1 [5.5] Thus for the opaque surfaces ελ = 1- Rλ [5.6] 2. Emission from the ocean and land surfaces. Emissivity of the surfaces: • In general, emissivity depends on the direction of emission, surface temperature, wavelength and some physical properties of the surface • In the thermal IR (4µm<λ< 100µm), nearly all surfaces are efficient emitters with the emissivity > 0.8 and their emissivity does not depend on the direction.
